"We are the fighting Uruk-hai! We are the servants of Saruman the Wise, the White Hand: the Hand that gives us man-flesh to eat." Products of a fallen Istari's ambition and lust for power, these creatures are as beastly and frightening as orcs yet strong and disciplined as any soldier of men. Standing in an ordered line wearing plate armour and bearing large iron shields, the Uruk-hai can withstand the worst that the enemy can throw at them while their cruel angled blades wielded with savage fury will cut down all who oppose the White Hand. Bred only for war and trained to protect their general at all costs, these perfected soldier orcs are the mad wizard's best chance of realizing his ambition to rule Middle-Earth.
